Death of Archibald Coulter.
Archibald COULTER, of Coulter's Mill, Creek township, in this county, was killed on last Thursday evening, January 21, on the railroad track between Danville Junction and Danville station, on the I. B. & W. Railway. Mr. Coulter and his wife were on their return trip from Binghampton, New York, where they had been spending some time visiting friends and relatives. The train stopped at the Junction for the passengers to take supper, and just before it started out, Mr. Coulter was standing in the aisle of the car talking with his wife. Mrs. C. laid her head down for moment's rest, and when the train got in motion looked up to speak to her husband. Not seeing him, she passed to the rear end of the car, failing to find him. Thinking that he had got off the train before it started and was left behind, she had the conductor telegraph back from the next station to have Mr. Coulter meet her at Urbana. Mrs. COULTER stopped at the latter place, and anxiously awaited the arrival of the express. Mr. Coulter not being on the train, Mrs. C. inquired of the conductor if he knew anything of her husband. Failing to get any information from him, she next had recourse to the telegraph office, where she learned the sad news that her husband had been killed on the trestle-work by a passing train.
The facts as elicited at the coroner's inquest were as follows: Mr. Coulter was seen by a man, about nine o'clock in the evening, walking on the track toward Danville station. To the inquiry as to where he was going, Mr. Coulter replied that he was going to Champaign. At twelve o'clock the same night a watchman on the road was crossing the trestle-work when he found the deceased lying on the track with one leg cut clean off below the knee and the other leg almost amputated. His left arm was cut off, and one side of his face was completely torn away.
The watchman had started to cross the bridge just as the train was coming, but fearing he would not make the passage in time, waited till it passed. When he reached Mr. Coulter, his body was yet warm, so the probabilities are that it was that train that killed him. The engineer did not see anyone on the track, and the supposition is that Mr. Coulter had attempted to cross the trestle some hours before and probably fell down and was unable to get up.
Mr. John C. COULTER, of Weldon, on receipt of the news on Friday, started for Danville and brought the remains of his father to his late home.
The funeral services were held on Sunday, and the remains were deposited in the family grave yard near Coulter's Mill.
Mr. A. Coulter removed to this county in February 1866, and bought the mill in Creek Township which since then has borne his name. He was at one time an energetic business man and had amassed considerable property. He was widely known and stood high in the estimation of his neighbors. Mr. Coulter was nigh on seventy-two years of age at the time of his death, and was the father of fifteen children, five of whom are now living in this county.
Mrs. Coulter expresses her gratitude to the people of Danville, and especially to Mr. and Mrs. Gibbons, of the Junction House, as well as to the officials of the I. B. & W. R'y company, for their kindness and sympathy in her hour of great affliction.
